Normally I’d look to the greats out there in the video gaming world to add a fun and recognizable twist to what could potentially be a rather dry set of posts. But given the propensity of the game development giants, which I love by the way, to sue their loyal fan-base to protect their corporate assets from misuse, I have to be careful.
